On this date in 1964 the Reds beat the Pirates 7-2 in Crosley Field.
Leo Cardenas hit an eighth inning grand slam off Roy Face to cement the win. It was his only slam as a Red and one of only two he hit in his career. Also, the Reds started a 22 year old first baseman, making his Major League debut, named Tony Perez.

Interestingly Bob Bailey,Jerry Lynch and Smokey Burgess all played for the Reds at one time or another in their careers.
Though some might argue that "best utility player" is a contradiction in terms.
